"All segments of our business grew sequentially during the quarter".

"Demand for our Engenio 4Gbit/s Fibre Channel systems strengthened, driving our storage systems revenues to near record levels and 17% higher than the year-ago quarter", said Abhi Talwalkar, LSI Logic President and Chief Executive Officer.

"Our communications revenues grew significantly year-over-year, as demand for existing long-lifecycle products increased and several in-process designs ramped to production".

"We anticipate accelerating demand for our storage products in the second half of 2006 as broad market transitions to 4Gbit/s Fibre Channel interfaces and SAS-enabled servers are now well underway".

"In the second quarter, GAAP net income grew significantly, driven in part by successful completion of the sale of our Gresham, Oregon manufacturing facility and our ZSP digital signal processor unit", said Bryon Look, LSI Logic Chief Financial Officer.
